The cookie monster said:Stable musnt of had a dime on it for it to drift like that.markbmcfc said:Boom.
Would like to see him over 7F with the ground a tiny bit quicker. It's boggy as fuck.
Travelled quite nicely and showed a great attitude in the last furlong or so.
Don't know why, we were all on. Not sure why he drifted.
Anyway, don't care, just delighted. My first winner since the summer.

Well Cameron Highland wont be going back to Epsom again. Awful performance and even though the ground is bad he isnt going to get anywhere near winning the Derby. Goldoini won it well but cant go for the Derby as he is a gelding. We'll get more clues at the weekend with the Classic trial at Sandown and Chester is only a few weeks away

You will very rarely see a 2000 Guineas winner go to Ireland or a Derby winner go for the Irish equavilent.
I know Punchestown has managed to attrac the likes of Quevega, Sizing Europe and Voler La Vedette but its lacking Big Bucks, Sprinter Sacre, Finnians Rainbow, Long Run, Kauto Star, Rock On Ruby and more. I understand that they are all unlikely to run at 3 consecutive festivals but if the pull was there then they would.
Like I said it isnt a dig at Ireland, I think it gets bigged up too much and doesnt live up to the hype, and this includes Guineas and Derby day.
Niall your talking shit mate. There is fuck all Punchestown can do to attract more English trainers to bring horses over. The prize money for the big races is decent so why no more UK trainers brings the horses over i dont know. Maybe the short gap with Aintree and Punchestown is the problem. Its like me saying to you Cheltenham would be shit without all the top Irish horses going over to race. Same as the Classics. Most owners will want to race for the bigger prizes and with the Sterling being so good against the Euro you will always get a top class field going over.
Punchestown festival will get better and better and bigger over the years to come. Hopefully some other UK trainers will bring over more horses they have great facilities here. Just seeing all the rain we have got so far and the track is still raceable is amazing. As Ruby Walsh said on ATR if this was the winter there would be nothing said about the ground and we would be racing. The reason why the Chases were called off was water logging on 3 or 4 fences so they moved those races to the Saturday. How many meetings has been pulled for strong winds and bad rain this season. They are racing and its a good thing to see. To call it a shambles is taking the piss they were giving it every chance of racing and by the looks of it its going ahead.

For my mate Mr Fetlocks.....

It's all good banter :-D

markbmcfc said:Happy with that, a bit more luck in running and he'd have won that. He's made up a good 5 or 6 lengths from the entrance to the straight to the line.
Think he needs another furlong, didn't really have the pace early doors and stayed on well.
Think he'll win next time out.
nijinsky's fetlocks said:Ok,let's keep this simple.
If somebody came on a racing forum and stated that they thought a certain horse would win next time out,without actually knowing where it was running,what the distance of the race would be,what weight the horse would be carrying,who the jockey was,where the horse was drawn,and most importantly what the competition was,would you think that they were an idiot who was talking out of their arse?
Because that is precisely what you did on the very evening when Art Dzeko last ran.
It's all good banter :-D
I'd be very surprised if they get away with it today. Shocking conditions here in the South Dublin suburbs.......Punchestown looks deserted and wild as a march hare.leighton said:niall_mcfc said:The Irish festivals are never as good as the English ones.

If im talking shit then why have you agreed that Ireland dont get the big runners like Cheltenham does? I wasnt slagging the Irish off and never said they dont support the big races over here, what i said was that they struggle to get the big guns from over here and abroad. Over jumps they dont get the top horses from Cheltenham or Aintree and on the flat they dont get the horses from the Guineas, Derby or international runners.
English racing attracts international runners from Hong Kong, America, Australia and the odd ones from the likes of India and Spain yet Ireland dont get any. Thats my point. Theres just not the attraction in Ireland to send top horses there. Frankel will never been seen in Ireland and Sea The Stars only ran there because he was trained by John Oxx.
Sticking big prize money and a Grade 1 next to a race is not good enough, yes a horse may win a Grade 1 but my point is is that its probably a Grade 3 because of the class of horses they are running against.
